Directions

  1. 1
    Mix the first 9 ingredients of the meatballs together.
  2. 2
    Using a teaspoon for size, form the meatball and roll around in your hand.
  3. 3
    Place aside, once all meatballs are made, heat the olive oil in a pan and cook the meatballs until they are almost cooked through.
  4. 4
    Then add the 3 ingredients for the sauce together and poor over meatballs, allow to simmer until meatballs are completely cooked.
  5. 5
    Meat mixture should be prepared night before but I never do and it's just as good!
  6. 6
    *I've also started cooking them in the oven and it's easier and just as tasty!
  7. 7
    I cook them 3/4 of the way then finish them in the sauce on the stove top or if I'm doing them for a party, throw them in the slow cooker with the sauce for a few hours.
  8. 8
    I even serve them in the slow cooker to keep them nice and warm.
  9. 9
    * I LOVE garlic and the tex-mex spice.
  10. 10
    I always add more -- If unsure how much to add, keep in mind you can always add a bit at a time into the sauce.
  11. 11
    I always enjoy a lot of sauce.
  12. 12
    I like to double the sauce, cook some garlic rice and serve everything on the rice.
  13. 13
    Have fun with this!
  14. 14
    I always play with the spices and amounts.
